Is it just me or does September always feel like back-to-school time? Back to basics, a fresh start.
This month’s calendar features a mural that goes back to basics. “Greetings From Chicago” by the Greetings From collective takes a basic empty lot and brightens it up with a basic concept—a postcard. The “Chicago” letters are filled with Chicago icons like pizza, sports teams, and the skyline. Basic never looked so good.
How many symbols of Chicago can you spot in the mural?
